Antelope Edge Note

The Edge Note is fitted with a fixed-cardioid, 16.1mm diaphragm which achieves rich and detailed renditions, whatever the circumstances. However, due to its high sensitivity, the Note is somewhat susceptible to plosive and wind noises, and should therefore be used with a pop or wind shield in certain situations. Thanks to its astonishing maximum SPL of 146dB, the Note can handle the loudest sources with ease. And if the max SPL doesn't suffice, the Note also is equipped with 0, -10, and -20dB pads, as well as a two-stage high-pass filter, with cut-off frequencies at 75Hz and 115Hz, to tighten up the low-end.

Antelope Audio is a manufacturer of professional audio equipment that was founded by developer Igor Levin, who invented the famous AardSync clock generator with which his then-company Aardvark made waves in the world of audio engineering at the end of the 20th century. In 2005, Igor Levin went – as he himself put it – back to his roots and continued to develop the AardSync concept. The result of this development work was the “Oven Clock”, a word clock generator that is kept at a constant temperature of 64.5°C to provide increased stability and improve jitter performance. The newly founded Antelope Audio caused a similar splash in 2005 with its OCX Clock Generator. Today, Antelope Audio, which is based in Sofia, Bulgaria, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality audio interfaces and AD/DA converters and includes big names such as Rihanna, Jay-Z, and the Wu-Tang Clan among its users.
